One of my college friends (well, I was in university at the time, he had already graduated) conflated my age with Colin's last month. I had no idea it was so important to me that I am older than Colin. That was 20 fucking years ago. But if he's my age, my sister's my age, and those 3.5 years matter, dammit.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm almost 30, which is the age my mother was when she had her first kid. However, one of my grandmothers didn't have her first kid until she was 38. (Several of my friends have had babies lately. I'm getting neurotic.)

Kids and I are watching the All-Star softball game too, Amy. Love all the players representing the A's.
Kelly babysat the dojo baby all afternoon/evening. He turns two in a month! And his mom is pregnant again. I'm looking forward to another baby to snuggle (and give back).
Talking about ages, I've been feeling every one of my 42 years lately. Geeeeesh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Spidey doesn't look too comfortable, I have to say. Although Supes seems to like it ...
And Batman looks kind of...nonplussed.

Brenda, I'm so happy about your progress with Darby!
I did a cake experiment tonight. I baked two layers of yellow cake (from a box mix) and whipped up a vanilla custard. Put the custard in the hollow space on the cake, popped on the second layer and frosted it all with chocolate buttercream icing. Sort of a Boston cream cake.
The results are nummy.

I really think age only matters if you're a cheese, wine or scotch.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can think of one other time it's slightly important...
